As the title indicates, I cannot access Zoom either on my browser (at zoom.us) or through the app.  This issue is only on a single computer, which is hard wired into my modem, and not any other device connected to my home wifi network.  Does not matter which browser is used, and I have cleared cache several times.  In fact, my work even replaced the computer (it's a PC) thinking it was a hardware issue, but even with a new desktop, the issue persists.

 

To be clear, I cannot even *access* the website zoom.us, though oddly I can get to Zoom support, and even more oddly, can get to ZoomGov.  This issue rather suddenly arose one day midday, and it's extremely frustrating.  It doesn't affect any other similar app (like Teams) and when I did have the Zoom app downloaded, that wouldn't work either.

 

Anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this issue?

I have the up to date version of zoom on my machine but not paid for. I have been able to blur my background in the past but the feature appears to have been removed. Has this feature been slammed behind a paywall, if so that is a poor choice on zooms part as there are plenty of other option for meeting platforms and they also still allow this feature.

recording has audio but no video

I recorded a meeting last night that I need for my grad program.  I can hear the audio but there is no video.  What did I do wrong and is there anyway to recover the video?  This was my first time trying to record.

Looking forward to some recommendations regarding Zoom capabilities.

Our use case is the following: I am trying to set up Calendly + Zoom. The overall idea is the Demo Request form. Initially, we implemented this through the single occurrence of a recurring meeting - just hard copying the link to the description of the Calendar section.

 

We have 4 Sales Reps whom we add after the call was created. The problem with the current workflow is that we want to allow any sales rep to start Zoom calls and skip through Waiting Room. 

Alternative host options does not work well for our case. We encounter an issue where Zoom removes all alternative hosts when a meeting is edited. The issue occurs only for recurring meetings as I figured out. This issue is related to the current absence of a way to add an alternative host to a single occurrence of a recurring meeting.

If any of the recurring meetings' instance has a specified date, users need to choose Edit All to add an alternative host, and the Edit All option is not available when recurring meetings are created with no-fixed-time. This results in the blank Alternative Host field when editing the meeting.


What is an alternative Zoom feature we should utilize to handle such a scenario? Would be great to automatically set it up once.

Thanks

Hi everyone,


I currently host daily Zoom meetings where I interact with various participants. As the admin, along with my partner, we manage screen sharing and microphone control, while attendees mainly join as listeners.

However, I’m facing a challenge that I’d like to resolve. Many participants do not enter the meeting with their full name, which causes issues when trying to identify them during the session. This forces me to interrupt the meeting to ask them to update their name, which takes up valuable time.


I’m looking for a solution that would require participants to enter their full name before they can join the Zoom room. Additionally, I would like to obtain a list of participants with their full names to efficiently track attendance, as it’s crucial for me to know who attends these daily meetings.


I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or experiences you can share to implement these functionalities in Zoom and optimize the management of my meetings.


Thank you in advance for your help!

I have 19 users with Zoom accounts and cannot seem to upgrade them.  Here are my issues:

1. Those with Version 5.15.##, or below, can no longer open their software.  Therefore, they cannot sign on and check for updates.

2.  When I go to the Zoom website, I only see "Zoom Workplace" (maybe version 6.1.6.43767?) as a download choice.  Is this the same as plain Zoom? (All current users are on Zoom 5.10.0 thru 5.17.10).

3.  If I download, and run the installer, Zoom Workplace will not open.  I still get messages that I need to be above version 5.16.6

4.  I cannot get any help from Chat, or phone calls, because I'm not "qualified" for live person support.

 

ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, 

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra that I want to use for zoom meetings. 

Most is great, but one thing is sorely missing, and I wonder if I am simply overlooking something. 

I have two front cameras. A "standard camera" and a "wideangle camera". 

Now, when I am in a zoom meeting, I can only choose one front camera, the standard one. 

I really want/need to use that other wideangle camera, but I see no way to choose it. 

I can also only pick one of the three lenses on the back of the tablet. 

Is there any way I can add these cameras to my zoom app so I can choose them in my meetings?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated. 

🙂

Hello,
How can I disable the notification "Not hearing anything? Turn up volume"?
This notification started appearing after I updated Zoom for Windows to version 5.16.10 and appears when the computer's volume is equal to or less than 10%.
I couldn't find the option to disable this alert in the Accessibility menu.
